Deadpool, Vol. 1: Dead Presidents by Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan
1.0
Once again, thank you bookstore Carl for the free stuff! You've been supplying me with some consistent 2-star reads but I can't even complain because it's free!
Deadpool is definitely just not my thing. 90% of the jokes fall flat, there are no memorable characters, no danger, and the plot is just really bad. For real, this book is about the dead U.S. presidents all coming back to life and being evil together. They actually reference the fact that they don't even have a plan quite a few times, and it's basically just an excuse to watch them get their heads chopped off. Meanwhile, Deadpool talks to the ghost of Ben Franklin who only certain people can see (?) and he guides him to victory. I guess. The art was alright but nothing special, and I couldn't help getting the feeling that I'd like this if I was much younger, but whatever.
I won't be reading the next one unless someone gives it to me for free, but I would only recommend this to people who actually think that Marvel movies are full of suspense and humor.
